I need a bit more information I take it this a 4x4 cause when you talk about transfer case it means 4x4 and am I to understand you replaced the transmission and transfer case and tail shaft?

yes i have replaced all those thing. and yes it is 4x4. I also noticed today that the front drive shaft always spins even when in 2wd. It's a push button 4x4 and idk if its supposed to to that or maybe my problem is that the transfer case is stuck in gear?

Thank you for clarifying that may be your problem if it is indeed continuously in 4 wheel drive and driving down the highway at high speed will cause it to build up more pressure than normal. Was there any codes to report about? Let me know.
Anonymous Jan 16, 2013

well i just looked on a bunch of forums and they say it is supposed to always spin if you have autotrac 4x4 so idk. this problem is never ending. Idk what to do. The only cods i have triped was knock sensor. Nothing to do with the transfer case...
Randy Jan 16, 2013

That may be so but still to be certain jack up the front and back end of your vehicle and support it securely then start and put it in gear and see if your fron wheels spin if so that will be where your probelm is at. You should not be going 60 or 70 mph while engaged in four wheel drive like I said it will buil up more pressure than normal. Let me know.

You may also want to check all vacuum lines to it and from it as some vehicle are equipped with a valve operating on vacume or check ball

Detailed answer on why my truck wont move in ant gear, or 2wd or4wd after replacing the tranny in 99 4x4 silverado newlight-duty truck

if trans changed out and no movement and front is not freewheeling did you check and or dropped out the transfer case to check if stuck damaged or engaged ---or the new transmission is operational ---check the 4x4 actuator to see what position it is in or pull it out and check if damaged or stuck --lastly have you pulled the covers off the front and rear axles to make sure their nor frozen or damaged -do the transfer case check first disconnect the front driveshaft and check for freewheel do the same with rear driveshaft and rear with axles off and transmission in neutral try to turn tailshaft of transmission than try yoke of transfer case if any of these units dont move than thats where you check for problem

99 silverado 1500 transfer case tailshaft bushing replacement

Drain the case, remove the drive shaft, remove the bolts that hold the two case halves together and gently pry the case apart, it will be difficult to seperate. Once the rear tail half is off take it to a machine shop and have the bushing replaced, you can't do it at home without special tools.

I am leaking trans fluid. What are the areas on this 3.1 auto where fluid could be lost? I assume that the pan gasket is one? Also, what is the transaxle cooler line? Could I be losing the fluid from...

The easiest way to check is put a piece of cardboard under your vehicle when it is parked in one spot.Then look for where the drip is coming from.Fluild leaks can be tricky because when you drive,the wind blows the fluid back towards the rear of the car.The fluid lines run to your radiator for cooling when you are driving your car.They can leak at either the radiator or at the transmission if so,take them loose and wrap them with teflon tape then tighten back down.. Also your pan gasket can leak which is a simple fix with some rtv sealer and a new gasket.Or you can have either a tailshaft seal leak or a front pump seal leak.The tailshaft seal is in the rear of the ****** where it meets the drivetrain.The front seal is up by the engine and the ****** would have to come out to replace that.Depending on the leak,you might try so transmission sealer additive just to see if it stops.

Need to replace transfercase on 2003 chevy silverado pickup

It isn't too bad if you have done wrenching on other things.

Both driveshafts need to come off,
the crossmember and mount need to come off,
I believe the Y pipe or the left side of the Y pipe need to come off as they are in the way,
a few wiring connections,
support the trans at a certain height so the tranfer case isn't sitting on the rear crossmember, remove the six bots on the front of the transfer case, slide backward off the splines and tip the front downward and out.

It isn't fun but it isn't too bad either

Transfer case leak

You mean between the case halves? It is just silicon, no gasket. These are good for the pump wearing a hole in the rear housing and leaking oil. The cure for it is a new rear housing and a piece called a case saver that keeps the pump from doing it again. Taking the transfer case apart to fix it is easy, I can tell you how to do it.
